After some more research (and a few referrals to sites via facebook and my aunt, who breeds labs), I may have located a possibly legit breeder. Does anyone have any information on them as to their reputation or purchased from them before?

I went to their personal website after puppyfinder and on their site they offer weekly photos of your pup to you so you can see it grow and they would prefer you visit their house. That doesn't sound like a mill to me, but the breeder is located in PA (which I know can be a "danger state"). I also googled the owner and the location to see if any poor reviews or red flags came up (e.g. abuse offenses or widespread puppy mill outcries) and I came up with absolutely nothing. My bf suggested that I search for how much property the owner has (because he said if he was running an illegal operation he would have one house for show and one property for the milling), but I'm not quite sure how to go about doing it. Does that seem crazy or should I have him walk me through how to do it later?

Puppy mills - how to buy a puppy

Do you guys have any tips for how to sniff out if someone is a respectable breeder?

Thanks!
